Texas Poll: Talarico Leads Paxton by 2 Points, 64% Hispanic Support

A new Texas poll shows Democrat James Talarico leading Republican Ken Paxton by two points in the 2026 gubernatorial race, with Talarico securing 64% support among Hispanic voters. The poll suggests a potential shift in Hispanic voting patterns in Texas, a key demographic in a traditionally Republican state. The result is a single poll and may not reflect broader trends, but it signals a competitive race.
